What Drive Through the Aristocratic
Portion of the City Reveals Of the
Rich HENS Homes.
Many OF the Magnificent Homes That
Are Being Built For st. Pauls
Millionaire Residents.
Palaiial Structures of Brick and Stone
Surrounded by Ample Lawns and
Well Laid Walks.
4 Long List Of Such Homes Where the
Successful Business Hen Will
Take Their Ease.

Behind a blinking span of speedy bays
and conveyed by a leading real estate
expert of st. Paul a representative of
the GLOBE Friday was whirled through
Summit avenue, over st. Anthony hill
and the bluffs west of the city in quest
of information concerning improve
mentS in building. On every hand
could be heard the CHEEKY ring of ham
mer and trowel, betokening the march
of Improvement over which was but a
short time ago a mere wild country, now
transferred by mans ingenuity into a
perfect paradise. Naturally Summit
avenue was the first point of attraction,
and along both sides of this handsome
boulevard very busy building scenes
were being enacted.
Undoubtedly the most palatial resi-
dence that will grace this retreat of the
wealthy of st. Paul will be the half-mill-
ion-dOllar house that j. j. Hill, OF the
Manitoba railroad. purposes erecting
for the comfort of himself and family,
but thus far nothing has been accom-
pliShed beyond clearing the site and
digging the foundation on Sum

real were they. 1t was about this time
that somebody on the stage shot off a
wad of artificial thunder and Charley
sort of dragged himself out of his sluni-
Der. He rubbed his eyes and looked at
the stage. He seemed to be worried
about something and dug his
knuckles into his eyes again then took
another look at the stage. His face
wore a peculiar look; his lips
twitched nervOuSly, and, turning to
George, who was still dreaming, he
prodded him in the ribs with his elbow.
and said, in husky voice:
''George, sink 'sany shing matter wi
me?'' w.
George braced up and yawned.
mo, guess not" said he.
"'Szink I'm perfectly healzy? Amt
got no brain shtrouble?"
mo, swat you want brain shtrou-
ble?"
''Shay, George, look at shtage see
'fyou she any shing wrong"
George Strengthened up in his seat and
turned his eyes on the stage. When
they fell on the mess of snakes and liz
ards he turned as pale as a ghost, and
looking at Charley, who hadn't the
courage to look at the stage again, he
said:
you've got EN-. she 'em myshelf
Shay, Charley, lesh go home"
The two frightened dudes felt theil
way out of the opera house, and, climb
ing into a hanson, ordered the driver tc
take them home. When they were well
OH their way, Charley said to George:
George, that's wOrsht ever was.
guess I'll never stake mother drink, she
help me, shoshelp me, sho-sho-sh-snu
Shaw, snu, snaw." Charley had faller
asleep on the bosom of his new resolu
ton.

Once more Charley and George went
out to give their tonsils bath and they
probably crooked their elbows more
than once, for when they came back they
were pretty groggy and hadn' t. more than
sunk into their seats before their heads
fell together and they went fast asleep.

prevailing material used in the new
buildings under way. From $1,000 to
$4,000 were quoted as the figures that
1t would cost to erect buildings on
these streets, and everywhere could be

grading and leveling avenues and alleys
to accommodate the demand for lots i'll
this section of st. Paul.
Then, too, along Dayton avenue nu-
merouS dwellings were observed in
course OF construction, not the least OF
which was the handsome double house
OF DIR. Abbott, which will cost, when
completed, about $4,000.
y. }. Watson, near Virginia avenue,
i'll the same neighborhood, has moved
into his new $4,000 house, and Stanford
Newell has made an addition to his res
idence, composed of native granite that
cost upwards of $4,000.
The diversity of styles in architecture
was very marked throughout the ride and
1t was Il rare occurrence to find two
houses, except those intended for tene-
meAtS, and only those in isolated cases,
tua were at all similar in construction
or lines.
But unquestionably the handsomest
of the new dwellings erected i'll St.
Paul is that of John l.. Merriam on the
bluff which overlookS Central park.
The material used, brown stone, also
shows UP well amid the vernal sur
roundingS and an entire square has been
utilized in providing a lawn which is in
keeping with such house.
Aid. Petsch, at the corner of Sher-
burne avenue and Grant street, is hav-

Nssne of the new houses just COM
pleted and facing Central park
are owned by William Daw-
son, Jr., who spent $4,000 on
his house, George Stone, who
expended $4,000, and Mr.. Carey,
whose new brick three story
structure will stand him $4,000.
At the corner Of Sherburne and Grant
street, opposite Alderman Petsch'S, j. L.
Mcmillan has nearly completed a three
story brick which will cost $50, 000 before
he is through with it.

RESULT OF THE. OBSERVATIONS
of the GLOBE representative during the
brief time consumed it was Inferred that
none but substantial brick and stone
houses will in the future be erected on
Summit avenue, as the price of land in
that section Of the city is such as to de-
ter only the wealthiest citizens of St.
Paul from attempting to build, but the
adjacent avenues. Lincoln, Portland,
Ashland, Holly, Western and Laurel,
will receive the bulk of the frame and
other houses for those not so well off in
this worlds goods. Then, too, the paw
ing with asphalt of Lincoln, Portland,
Ashland and Western avenues will
make them very popular and desirable
for residence streets.

upon which will rise the

agent, Mr.. IngersOll. 1t is intended to
be of brick, three rstories high, with
brownStone trimmings, and will cost
about 1000.
Mr.. Stickney, on the opposite side of
the park, has completed a handsome
three-Story Iowa stone house. which, it
is estimated, cost him about $4,000.
AT the corner of Nina avenue former
frame house belonging to Mr.. Open

brick front, and ether Improvements
have been made to the property which
$4,000 will hardly cover.
Mr.. Cutler. of Noyes Bros. & Cutler.
has also made decided acquisition to
the Summit avenue property by his
handsome house near Cakes avenue, and
which cost him upwards OF $4,000.
Near Arundel street William Con-

the footlights. AS they went down the
aisle tn cir tread was not that majestic
stride usually worn by the dude, it
showed signs of weakness and uncer-
tainty. They were in exceedingly
happy spirits, for through a burst of
good luck one of them had made $500
that day in a real estate deal and wine
had evidently been flowing freely down
their necks ever since the dude had col
lected his money. One of the usherS
was obliged to make them sit farther
back in the parquet, for they got so near
the footlights there was danger of their
breath catching fire.
1t would hardly be the right deal to
divulge the real names of these dudes.
The public will content itself with
knowing them as Charley Fresh and
George Flip.
A few minutes after these gentlemen
had seated themselves the curtain went
up on the first act and the bloodshot
eyes of the dudes wandered slowly over
the stage until the OrbS of Charley Fresh

Chicago Fat-stock And
Horse Show.

1t 10 generally admitted that the late show
ct Chicago was q great success. The horse
department was q grand affair, bringing to-
gether the cream of the various breeds in a
way that the public could readily compare
them. The Shire class brought out the
strongest and finest ring Of draft horses ever
shown in America; and this year, as former
~, the Champion sweepstakes' prize for
best draft stallion of any breed was award
ed . Shire, and justly too, for they have
more substance, greater natural energy and
endurance, as well as better balanced forms
than any other. For two years in success
ion Geo E Brown & Co, of. Aurora, Ill.,,
have carried off the honors in the Shire ring
and last year were awarded three gold
medals and grand sweepstakes. This year
they made nearly a clean sweep in the
Cleveland Bay rings, winning first, second
and third in one class; first, second and
fourth in another and first in three others.
Certainly such q stud as that is worth look
ing OVERLY those in want Of q frst class
